A Valparaiso man
was stabbed in a Center Township residence on Monday evening in what the
Porter County Sheriff’s Police is calling “a possible home invasion.”

According to
police, the incident occurred at 6:30 p.m. in a home on Kinsale Ave. in the
Waterford subdivision. The 18-year-old victim advised police that he didn’t
know his assailant and nothing was reported missing from the residence.

“The victim’s name
is not being released at this time pending further investigation, as he is
still in the hospital in serious condition,” police said.

“Detectives are
investigating this incident as a home invasion at this time,” police said.

Anyone with
information on a possible suspect is urged to contact Det. Sgt. Hobgood at
477-3139.

Investigators are
also interested in any video footage shot by home surveillance cameras in
the Waterford subdivision.

“We do not wish to
cause undue anxiety,” police added. “However, we remind you to watch over
your neighbors in all parts of our community and call when you see something
suspicious.”
